• In 1985, the Levi Strauss Foundation became one of the first corporate foundations to address the AIDS epidemic and has given over $27 million in grants since that time to fund AIDS education and prevention programs. Funding for these types of programs will continue. The Levi Strauss Foundation is one of the first corporate foundations to fund syringe access programs to help stem the HIV/AIDS epidemic. • Launching the Syringe Access Fund and focusing on harm reduction has expanded the Levi Strauss Foundation’s long-time work on HIV/AIDS issues. • The Levi Strauss Foundation began funding local syringe access programs and providing support to state-level public education policy projects in September 2003.
